The attack occurred in Kepong, where the 26-year-old, attached to the Gombak police headquarters, sustained injuries to his right hand. Following an eight-hour complex replantation surgery, performed by a specialized surgical team led by Dr Allan Ravi Rajagopal and Dr Aziz Sabbir Husain, the officer is now able to move several fingers on his affected hand, according to Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.
